Résumé
The purpose of the project is to demonstrate the use of 500 kWh Lithium-ion battery storage to both the generating capability of 250 KW photovoltaic panels and the charging stations for electric vehicles across a distribution network. The project will demonstrate a number of innovative technologies to increase renewable energy on the electricity system; smooth the variability of intermittent generation sources and provide reliable back-up power through the use of energy storage; protect the grid from system impacts; and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Program Purpose (French)
Le projet a pour but de démontrer l'utilisation de stockage de 500 kWh en batterie au lithium-ion pour la puissance génératrice de panneaux photovoltaÓques de 250 kW et les bornes de recharge pour véhicules électriques dans un réseau de distribution. Le projet fera la démonstration d'un certain nombre de technologies innovatrices visant à: accroître l'énergie renouvelable dans le réseau électrique; stabiliser la variabilité de sources de production intermittentes et fournir une source d'énergie d'appoint fiable grâce à l'utilisation de stockage d'énergie; protéger le réseau d'impacts du système; et réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre.
